These fitness headphones come from the Philips ActionFit Sports series. This series is geared specifically towards those who have an active lifestyle and require a durable, high-end set of headphones that won’t ever fail. Plus, since they’re true to fit, you can move around freely without worrying about losing an earphone half way through.
The Philips SHQ1300LF/27 have a fantastic design that fits well in any kind of work out. They never come out of the ear, thanks to their ergonomically designed structure. A Y-shaped cable clip keeps the cable wire in one place to keep it from getting in the way. This way, the quality of sound is never compromised and always stays well-tuned. A matching design is also an aspect that matters to the active person, which these headphones deliver.
The quality of sound that comes out is truly excellent. It provides the person the high quality beats and rhythms that match the pace of their workout program. The deep sound of the bass booms and pulses with every stretch and move for a studio-like experience.
Jumping or abrupt movements don’t affect the headphones’ capability to keep the sound going. It runs in a continuous pattern no matter what the activity is. The cable stays close to the body as you twist, turn, recline and incline in many poses and routines. Most of all, they work fantastically in any kind of weather.
Features
The Philips SHQ1300LF/27 ActionFit Sports Headphones stay secured in the ears even when vigorously moving. The C-design of the earphones give a tight and snug surrounding to keep it in place at all times. This special C-shape comes in 3 sizes to match a person’s specific ear measurements to ensure proper security. The rubberized material on the ear tip makes them easy to grip. Because of this, you can focus on getting in shape instead of keeping the headphones in place.
The sound performance is as good as the studio-quality headphones, which is quite impressive. They have a quality that’s designed to impress and deliver specific musical needs. The high-class drivers incorporated within it are the source of its powerful sounds.
They pump out all the instrumental notes and tunes and brings out clear voices for an entertaining session. This makes a workout session uplifting and energizing. They also have a semi-closed acoustic reference so that sounds are not too forced in a closed space that could in-turn, distort it.
At the same time, they let the person stay aware of their environment while listening to their favorite music. This is important for people who exercise outdoors as proper awareness helps keep them safe from potential danger.
